Top 7 insane genocidal maniacs?
>>
>>18657939
Unpopular opinion but Caesar is overrated honestly, he defeated some germanic snowmonkeys and won a civil war which is good but not enough to place him near the greatest conquerors in world history
>>
>alexander
Lost to puroshottaman and ran away
>>
>>18657946
you dont know any of the details about the battles he won despite the disadvantages.
>>
I feel like Scipio is out of place.
>>
>>18657945
I think it's the top 7 strategists
>>
>>18657984
He's on the same tier as Hannibal. Why would he be out of place?
>>
How come Subutai made the list but not Takeda Shingen or Xiang Yu or Sun Ce?
>>
>>18658002
>Takeda Shingen
Cool guy but meaningful lasting achievements?
>Ching chong Chang Chung
Who? Chinese history is either unremarkable, fake or self humiliation
>>
>>18658002
Might as well drop the full chink list
>Sun Tzu
>Bai Qi (forced to suicide)
>Han Xin (clan exterminated after being accused of treason)
>Wang Jian
>Wu Qi
>Li Mu (Executed due to enemy tricks)
>Lian Po
>Wang Jian
>Xiang Yu
>Cao Cao
>Zhou Yu
>Chen Qingzhi
>Emperor Taizong
>Li Jing
>Su Dingfang
>Xue Rengui
>Guo Ziyi
>Yue Fei (executed due to court politics)
>Han Shizong
>Xu Da
>Qi Ji Guang
>Yuan Chonghuan (he got executed but i dont remember why)
>>
>>18657967
Uh?
>>
>>18658000
Didn't he only win one major battle?
>>
>>18658020
No Zhuge Liang, are you even trying?
>>
>>18658029
No he probably won about 6-10 as a commanding officer. Depending on what consider a battle vs. large skirmish
>>
>>18658041
I'm pretty sure I'm getting my Scipios confused anyways.
>>
>>18658030
>bested by the rain
Hes a loser
>>
>>18658000
Scipio's greatest feat was defeating Hannibal.
Hannibal's greatest feat was being Hannibal.
>>
>>18657939
I don't agree with comparing Ancient, Medieval, and Modern generals. Use your AI slop to make 3 separate ranking images.
>>
>>18658049
So he's higher than Hannibal?
>>
>>18658002
>Takeda Shingen
Great general but Oda Nobunaga managed to mog him territorialy, so...
>>
>>18657939
>no phyrrus
>>
>>18658053
No, a single great achievement is not enough to put him in the same level of someone with an almost impeccable career.
Hannibal and his army were old and washed out during the Battle of Zama, btw. God knows what the result would be with Prime Hannibal.
>>
>>18657945
It's become so predictable. Unc here, I remember a time when you could post based shit and not have the first comment be a seething 3rdie.
>>
>>18658029
Are you talking about Africanus or Aemilianus?
>>
>>18657939
You're missing a very important German
>>
>>18658060
>No, a single great achievement is not enough to put him in the same level of someone with an almost impeccable career.
Go look at how he took Numantia. Yes, one small town of 4-500 in the middle of nowhere, but his brilliance was undeniable since then
>Hannibal and his army were old and washed out during the Battle of Zama,
Hannibal had 15 years to seal the deal bruh. And he probably did not try hard enough in Zama due to the persistent Punic backstabbing which was a feature of their "civilizarion" as much as burning children.
>>
>>18658057
If Hannibal had made this list, Pyrrhus would be #2
>>
>>18658044
Probably. The second one was average, but at least he gave us Polybius for which I am grateful
>>
>>18657946
You're forgetting the Egyptian Civil War, his little war in Anatolia. Obviously the conquest of Gaul.
And dismissing the civil war is ridiculous, since that civil war covered most of the known world, fighting against all types of armies, including fellow Romans and one of the finest generals of antiquity (Pompey).
In fact, Caesar probably has the strongest resume as a military titan. Given the sheer breadth and scope of his career. His victory against Pompey, other than Zama, is probably the single greatest victory.
>>
>>18657946
Well OP is retarded since he picked Caesar instead of Bellisarius, Trajan, or Constantine
>>
>>18658079
Brenus is always the second greatest enemy Rome had
>>
>>18658020
>greatest chinese general in an era of constant warfare
>gets executed
What causes this retardation in China? The same shit happened to the general who wiped the floor with crassus, got executed too
>>
>>18658101
>Bai Qi (Chinese: 白起; c.332 – c.January 257 BC[1]), also known as Bo Qi and Gongsun Qi (公孫起),[2] was a Chinese military general of the Qin state during the Warring States period. Born in Mei (present-day Mei County, Shaanxi), Bai Qi served as the commander of the Qin army for more than 30 years, being responsible for the deaths of over one million,[3] earning him the nickname Ren Tu (人屠; lit.'human butcher'). According to the Shiji, he seized more than 73 cities from the other six hostile states, and to date no record has been found to show that he suffered a single defeat throughout his military career. He was instrumental in the rise of Qin as a military hegemon and the weakening of its rival states, thus enabling Qin's eventual conquest of them. He was regarded by the Thousand Character Classic as one of the four Greatest Generals of the Warring States period, along with Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Lian Po; he is also remembered as the most fearsome amongst the four.

>Fan Ju persuaded the king that Bai Qi would join another state as a general and become a threat to the State of Qin. Convinced by Fan Ju's information, the king then forced Bai Qi to commit suicide
>>
>>18658074
Bismarck? Or did you actually mean the Austrian?
>>
>>18658110
I assumed it was a "Great Men" of history list, if so I did meant the Austrian. If it's greatest generals, then I guess not.
>>
>>18658108
Never heard of this. Wanna know why? Cause its fucking fake. Do chinks think they can just invent shit and everyone will believe them?
>>
>>18657984
If anything he’s underrated, he conquered Hispania and Undid all of Hannibal’s efforts in Southern Italy.
>>
>>18658063
>third worldism is actually when you OPPOSE lawless warlords
>>
>>18658097
Brennus was respectable as a Gallic war chief, but a flash in the pan really. In the grand scheme of things Germans were the indomitable enemy (and prized foederati)
>>
>>18658074
Charlemagne!
>>
>>18658193
You are correct but in terms of impact, Brenus is second to none other than Hannibal. His sacking of Rome was the turning point for the Roman Republic, they become the militaristic monster that conquered the Europe. Pyrrhus was a greater general, but his impact was nothing comparing to what Brenus achieved.
>>
>>18658207
Are Germans claiming Charlemagne now? I thought that we all agreed hew was French.
>>
>>18658246
>Karl Der Grosse
*German ruling the French
>>
>>18658243
Brennus captured later Roman minds with his "vae victis" but I would say the 10 year campaign against Veii was what shaped the Early Republic.
>>
>>18657939
>OP desperately dick rides tyrannical autocrats
Yup, that tracks.

>No Cyrus
Any list that doesn't include the OG warrior-philosopher, benevolent conqueror, and soldier-statesman is fake and gay.
Cyrus > Napoleon > Nader > Hannibal >> Pyrrhos = Charlemagne = Turenne = Cao Cao = Oda = Zhou Yu >> Marlborough = Eugene = Villars = Gustav Adolph = Zhuge Liang > Subutai = Alexander = Charles = Sun Ce = Takeda >>> Caesar = Zhuge Liang >>> Tamerlane >>> shit >>> Frederick the Faggot
>>18657946
You're right for the wrong reasons. Besides, Gauls were Celtic, not Germanic, you idiot.
>>18657985
>Alexander
>Strategist
>>18658014
RETARD ALERT!
>>
>>18658162
third worlders will always find a reason to oppose Roman military victories and imperators
>>
>>18658421
Brazilians like (You) actually suck off Rome's shriveled micropenis 24/7
Get in the line, faggot.
>>
>>18658424
cool it with racism and profanities
>>
>>18658368
Alexander was a brilliant strategist. I think you may not know enough about him :-)
>>
>>18658246
His mother tongue was a West Germanic language. His capital was in modern day Germany, as are his remains.
He is obviously far more German than French (Gallo-Roman).
>>
>>18658493
>Hurrrr I'm coooooonquering hurrrrrr
>Knows nothing about logistics and supply lines
>Kills Parmenion
>Can no longer expand because it takes more than combat leadership and battlefield tactics to go on
>Gets so assmad when people tell him reality doesn't work like in his dreams, he marches his soldiers deliberately through desert to kill them
>Kicks the bucket and his flash in the pan empire immediately collapses, carved up by his jackals of subordinates who also exterminate his family and dynasty
Great strategy you've got there, retard.
>>
>>18657939
Hannibal and scipio are just during a famous era there are equal or better commanders
>>18657946
Mostly celts and he buck broke numidians and anatolians as well
>>
>>18657939
Gustavus, frederick, suvurov, skanderbeg are scipio level?
